Database, Server, I/O Performance and SLOB discussion with Kevin Closson

In this episode, @Kevinclosson Oracle and Database performance expert as well as create of Silly Little Oracle Benchmark (SLOB) joins me in a web conversation. Kevin has been involved in database performance (and porting) optimization for decades which means CPU server, memory, I/O and storage issues, resources and tuning. Part of server, storage I/O a tuning is understanding the workloads, also the demands of software such as databases along with how they use CPU and its impact on resources. We also discuss metrics, gaining insight to resources uses, what they mean including how CPU wait may be costing your lost productivity with overhead, as well as benchmarks, simulations, and related themes. Check out Kevins website ( https://kevinclosson.net/ ) to learn more about Oracle, Databases, SLOB, tools and other content. Also check out www.storageio.com/performance for additional performance, benchmark, workload simulation tools including SLOB. Ok, nuff said, for now...
